(by proportionate I mean that even for 20mm minis you would have to thicken the limbs and wrists on non clothed figures so they would look kind of silly etc, .3mm wall is so sweet it isn't even funny)]]> Nane 2011-05-13T13:34:17-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27468&th=5237#msg_27468 RogersX wrote on Fri, 13 May 2011 13:34
Oh sweet, It was impossible to do proportionate figures this small before and now not only can you do them but perfectly as well, thank you for sharing and good work!

Thanks RogerX!

Yes, I've waited for ages to do a not "silly looking, big head, cartoon-ish" figure. If FUD isn't here soon enough, I'll have to print the figures in silver and then re-cast them...

Just a question: did you get the parts in the promised 10 working days or did it take a bit longer ?]]> fx 2011-05-13T16:10:46-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27473&th=5237#msg_27473 fx wrote on Fri, 13 May 2011 16:10

Hi fx,

The package took longer to arrive and also incomplete. But thanks to Shapeways' CS, things are fixed.

Something strange happened today though. I received an email telling me my second batch of figures will be delayed. Then tonight I got another message telling me that the order is in production. FIve minutes later, another email said the order has been shipped!! ]]> CGD 2011-05-13T16:18:18-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=27476&th=5237#msg_27476 CGD wrote on Fri, 13 May 2011 16:18

... The pin is for scale, which measures 38mm or 1.5 in in length (but some of it goes into the sticky putty. And yes, those are my finger prints on the putty ).:



For a brief moment there I thought you'd stuck the pin IN your thumb! True artistic dedication!

By the way did you model these with that extra bit on the bottom of each model or did they come like that?

Not a bad idea. Cast a thumb model and use as pin cushion.

They are detachable foot plates. If Shapeways can add them automatically, I'll be very very happy!
